You use the "-t" argument to "z2.py" to increase the number of threads.
However, the ZODB has a connection pool with 7 (non-version) ZODB
connections (by default). It is not useful, to have a higher
number of threads than connections.

You can edit the ZODB code or use a "custom_zodb.py" to increase
the number of ZODB connections.

Search zope.org for "custom_zodb", for details.
